A cool period piece!that proves my point. A wider brake pedal makes sense.two brake pedals ..... No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61polara Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Actually it makes a lot of sense if you have ever driven a '48 Cadillac. The brake pedal is mounted high in relation to the steering column and it is difficult to use your left foot to brake because your foot has to go down and around the steering column.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Geez, it's not just the brake pedal that the guy would have to operate way over on the right side. Just try to imagine how tiring it would be to use your left foot on the gas and, as I said earlier, quickly move it to the brake pedal. You don't think that the guys foot would sometimes get caught under the brake pedal on it's way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
